Bayou Magazine is a biannual literary magazine with national circulation that publishes poetry, fiction, nonfiction and the winner of the annual Tennessee Williams One-Act Play Contest. Bayou Magazine‘s mission is to present exceptional, original writing by both established and emerging writers. For news, reviews, contests, audio content, links to everything else you might need including our university homepage, go to bayoumagazine.org and for the latest Bayou news and information about our events, follow us on Facebook or Twitter.

We consider no more than 5 poems at a time. Only withdraw your poetry submission if you would like to withdraw all poems from consideration. To withdraw specific poems from your submission, add a note through Submittable to your submission listing which poems you'd like to remove from consideration.
